    Ram (Ddr2/ddr3)

    The timing relates to the delay time it takes the memory controller to ask for a piece of information and for that information to get from where it's stored to the pins (edge of the ram). I wouldn't worry about timing if you're looking for a standard sticks they're all pretty good and I will say...

    Ram (Ddr2/ddr3)

    it's a connection interface type, relating to the spacing and the pin arrangement if I'm not mistaken. Pretty much any ram you will be looking for DDR3 1333Mhz will be DIMM 240. Something like this (4 sticks of this) Edit: If by any chance you're looking to overclock, those sticks in my...

    My New Pc

    Those 570's aren't that bad, my friend is running a single one and the heat output isn't that bad, however for cost and performance I would prefer a pair of 6970s. I'm only running a 6850 as there's no point going higher as my bottleneck will no doubt be my CPU.

    Shrimps have now been moved, allowing the substrate to settle and leech it's poop for a while (until maybe 20th of july when I am back from Hungary). When I get back it will be time for the Neons/Rummys/Fire/Corys to move to the new tank then it's cleaning time to get it ready for Marine! I...

    What's The Funniest Thing You Have Heard Said In A Lfs?

    Unfortunately it you say "I don't know let me get someone" every time you get asked a question about the fish you don't know I'm sure at some point the boss if going to be a little cheesed that you don't seem to be doing much at all... I've had similar experience but involving birds, I knew...

    Building Myself A Pc

    I have OCZ Vertex 2s in Raid 0 (2 60xgb) For the price the Vertex 3s are so worth it. If you're buying an expensive motherboard you may as well utilise the premium you are paying for, Don't know what sort of forums you're on to read that go for the most expensive motherboard you can afford...

    Se England Sea Water Test Results

    Heh... don't tempt me! I live just over a mile from the closest coastline, though I imagine along with pollution, burnt out cars and dead bodies floating down the Mersey there might be something unhealthy for the fish.

    So something like this will do nicely . I'm assuming I can keep this good for a very long time without it perishing, after all it's just salt right... If it makes 160 Gallons then after the first 30 gallon batch it will have 130 Gallons worth left to last on water changes, that's quite a while...

    Do you mind taking a picture of it in the tank? I'm trying to minimise the amount of clutter inside the tank and am looking into a hang on back/side skimmer at the moment but the Slim nano you just mentioned seems more value for money than a hang on. Salt... Should I buy premade salt water from...

    Anyone From Liverpool/merseyside

    That's because the guy that looks after the marines is a real expert, he has total passion for coral last I knew he was running things like O3 generators and having a wave machine or something silly like that on his coral only tank. I know this because I err... worked there lol, not been since I...

    The fluval 205 is an interesting filter, firstly I'd make sure the ribbed hoses are sealed into the rubber tube on the intake pipe and outlet properly, if the hose is bending at too much of an angle it just opens a small gap up and air goes in making your priming pointless. Further more I would...
